George Rafty

George Rafty is THE consummate Newcastle real estate agent. Highly professional, knowledgeable and highly experienced. George and Melissa worked as a great team to help me buy my property. Thank you.

George was professional and I felt pleased to know he had so much experience as a realestate agent. He was extremely responsive with reply messages and emails and I would recommend him to others

I recently had the pleasure of working with George on the auction of a family property that required extensive work in order to be brought to sale. From start to finish George managed the challenging scope of works, alongside the selling process. Throughout, his warm, open communicative approach kept me informed at every stage, making the whole process positive and stress free. His wealth of experience and professionalism resulted in an auction selling price far exceeding my expectations!

George was great. George got our purchase over the line in record time!

My wife and I found George to be the ultimate professional. He answered a number of important questions that ultimately assisted us in our decision to put forward an offer to the vendor that was accepted. He is an outstanding negotiator.

Excellent all round. George and I work well together. This is the 4th property he has sold for us. His main attribute, apart from his charming self, is his canny knowledge in picking out the serious buyer from the rest and biding his time until the right and best price is reached. None of the “let’s put it on the market and see what happens”. He’s always way ahead of this waste of time. If you want to sell a property, then do it now AND to the right person. It’s not always about price.

From start to finish George put everything in realistic perspective and was able to support all decision making with his professionalism and personable attitude. The auction process in particular was something that I have never experienced and George made me feel comfortable and I was able to be myself and follow his guidance.

We knew of George through family members. We trusted him to look after our interests through the daunting process of selling our family home of many years. George and his team made this process much smoother and completed quicker than we expected. Thankyou George and your team for making sure we were looked after in such a pleasant and professional manner.

George was exceptional from start to finish. Calm, confident and genuinely invested in the outcome, not just the transaction. He kept us informed, supported and at ease the entire way through. If you want an agent who delivers with integrity and heart, George is the one.

Great experience. Communication was clear with responses to questions and queries both timely and without rhetoric. George made purchasing this property easy and I can’t wait to collect the keys to my new home

We were lucky enough to engage George and his team for what was an emotional sale, and throughout we appreciated their warmth and commitment to respectfully represent our late parent’s home. Their understanding of the Merewether market and concise pricing of our property resulted in a pre-sale outcome that totally met our expectations. George made us feel we were his only seller, he was always available, and we were a priority. Boutique service with a five star result.

George was very knowledgeable about the market and assisted with all facets of our needs in preparing the property for sale.

George and his team said what they would do, then did it! They kept us up to date with viewings and got a price much better than we ever thought we would get.

Can’t recommend George and the team at First National highly enough.

George is a legend in the Newcastle Market and has a great team well versed in anything Newcastle Real Estate. George and his whole team worked with us to present our home in. Its best light to achieve our expectations.

George was helpful and flexible during throughout our purchasing process. George kept my wife & I informed and was always available to assist with our enquiries.

George was very knowledgeable on the local market and I appreciated his insight into Newcastle's suburbs and their history.

George has a clear, honest and direct communication style that helped all parties in the negotiation and for us in securing the property. I would highly recommend George as an agent, whether you are buying or selling.

This is my third home purchase/sale with George. I wouldn’t trust selling my home with anyone else. His knowledge of the local market along with his honest and upfront demeanor is exactly what appeals to me when making decision on such a scale. Having said that. Hopefully this one is the last!

We've met many agents over the years and George Rafty is absolutely brilliant. He is a leader in the industry for anyone serious about selling their home.

George is an excellent communicator and worked with his vendors and ourselves to achieve a sale result that we were all happy with. George made himself available to allow us to inspect the home after hours, which we greatly appreciated.

We wouldn't hesitate to recommend George to buyers or sellers in the Newcastle market. Thanks George!

I have known George Rafty for over 40 years. During this time I have bought and sold several properties through George and his team at First National Newcastle.

Their professionalism and integrity is beyond reproach.

George’s knowledge of the inner Newcastle area and his expertise is why I would highly recommend George and his team if you’re buying or selling residential property.

This is the second time I have sold a property through George. I wouldn’t pick anyone else. I live interstate so I was not around for all of the sale process so I needed someone I could trust. As it turned out George sold the property prior to it going onto market. He organised a smooth and swift sale and gave me a lot of support throughout the process. I would not sell through any one else.

George was amazing.... achieving the best price in quick time for the property. George and his team were professional, punctual, easy to communicate with and with the experience he offered I felt supported in each choice being made through the process. I would definitely recommend the services of George Rafty to anyone seeking real estate expertise.

George and Joe were always open and honest to me. I felt very comfortable asking questions and giving me the best ways to sell my house. My house sold before auction with a figure that I was wanting.

Would totally recommend team FNN👌

I would rate George's service as exceptional. His approachability, accommodating nature, and commitment to achieving the best outcome for all parties involved make him and his team fantastic agents to purchase from. If you're looking for a trustworthy and professional agent, I highly recommend George and his team.

As a buyer's agent purchasing a property on behalf of a client, working with George was an exceptional experience that exceeded all expectations.

Thank you, George

George sold me my rental 20 years ago and when it came time for me to sell, I contacted him naturally as he is very professional in the way he operates. A friendly, pleasant person who made the entire process of selling stress free. Property sold within two days, and I was more than happy with the way George looked after me.

George was fantastic and kept us really well informed throughout the entire sale process. George has exceptional knowledge of the property market and was able to make our whole sale process very stress free. George went above and beyond to make sure of an efficient sale and was always looking out for our best interests. I would be more than happy to use George’s services again at any time.

George and his team are exceptional. They came as a recommendation from a friend, and they exceeded expectations. George was really helpful in arranging everything we needed to prepare the house for market efficiently. He and his team have great market awareness and can communicate their knowledge and recommendations clearly and effectively. I felt like it was a partnership through the whole process that yielded a prompt and successful outcome for all involved. Thanks George and team!

George handled the sale of my mum's much loved family home. In a difficult falling market we achieved an outstanding price. Throughout the process, George and his team treated all parties with great courtesy and respect. Experience does count and his skill to create a positive environment is largely responsible for our success. At all times, we were fully consulted and informed. George proved his worth from start to finish. He and his team are warm, friendly, and thoroughly professional.

George and his team have been wonderful to deal with! As a solicitor I have dealt with George in numerous buying and selling transactions. He has also acted for my family in multiple property development sales with huge success. George’s knowledge of the market, attention to detail, professionalism, marketing, and negotiation skills are first rate. He has a very well-resourced team and always responds very promptly to any requests. I highly recommend George & the First National Newcastle team.

Thank you to George and the First National team. We have bought and sold with George many times over the years and always feel well informed and trust his professional and knowledgeable guidance through out the process. Great result as always!
